Mafia's Little Pearl Fifty nine: I don't love her
Jade's pov. I stared at my now brown hair in the mirror, taking in my new look. And I couldn't lie, I did look like my mother. I looked more like her than Suzy did and it only made me spite her the more. I was already starting to miss the red colour which had been my signature look until now but this was already done so it was a new era for me after all. We had gone to the bar the previous day and I had to prepare my hair for the party the next day. Betty had looked at me in surprise and excitement when I told her I was going back to being a brunette and I could not wait to show her either. And Saint too. I wondered what he would think of the new colour. He would probably be surprised at the sudden change. I thought, turning my face to look at the other side of my hair. He wasn't back yet and the thought of him seeing my new look was already making me even more excited that I couldn't wait to show him. A few minutes later, I heard cars pull up and I looked out the window to see
Mafia's Little Pearl Sixty: Night -1
Jade's pov I stared at my phone the next day, my eyes all puffy and swollen from crying myself to sleep because of Saint. I looked at the number Marcel had used to call, contemplating if I should call him. I missed him, that I knew but I was the one who had been angry at him, yelled at him and even hung up. I sighed. What was I thinking? Calling him? If he came out, Saint's men would be ready to get him in no minute and bring him over to Saint. And as Saint had said, he was going to kill him. And I've seen what Saint did to people at the bar basement. I didn't want that for Marcel, even though it was almost inevitable. I honestly didn't want him dead, the thought alone terrified me. And I had just been lying to myself all along, convincing myself that I didn't care if he was alive or dead. I was really a bad person. I dropped my phone and lay back on my bed. I was not going to risk his life by calling him or anything. If I found a way to do so, I would. But no impulsive decisio
Mafia's Little Pearl Sixty one: Night-2
Jade's pov. I rolled my eyes at him as we started to walk into the building. We stopped halfway when CJ and some other guys came to us and they had a little chat with Saint. After that, we were checked and then went in. Saint's hand was still firmly holding me and it didn't seem like he was going to let me go any second. From time to time when I looked at him, he was looking straight ahead, focused on where we were going. The inside of the hall was just as beautiful as the outside, if not more and had fancy decorations all over. There were men dressed in black suits who stood along the way where we were supposed to pass through to go to the venue and as we walked, I tried to remove my hand from his grip but his grip was almost too tight.He then turned to me. "What's gotten into you today?" He asked. The anger was still there in his eyes as I met them and his lips curved downwards in a frown. "What's gotten into me?" I asked almost sarcastically, scoffing. Was he acting innocent
Mafia's Little Pearl Sixty two: Night -3
Saint's povFor a weird reason, my heart skipped a beat. I wasn't supposed to let her out of my sight. Here was too dangerous and she was supposed to be next to me all night. My eyes danced around the room as I searched for her, feeling my lips press together a bit harder than usual. Where the fuck was she?! I searched the room a bit more among the little crowd of people, then found her at the far end of the room giggling away at what some dickhead was whispering in her ears while holding her shoulder. The fuck?What the fuck was she laughing at? She had been feisty the whole evening and here she was, laughing with some guy? My legs walked faster than my head could think and the next thing, I saw myself matching to where they were. I got there and grabbed her arm and started walking out, not acknowledging the dude. I knew she was glaring at me, just by the way she was trying to let go of her arm and resist. But I was done with the whole bullshit for the evening and wanted it
Mafia's Little Pearl Sixty three: Night - 4
Saint's Pov How could I have been this careless? Fuck it! And the stupid asshole that shot at us? He was done for!! I had made sure to shoot at his tyres after he had shot Jade and I was sure some of my men had gotten a hold of him. He was going to pay. I held Jade in my arms as I watched her breath start to become uneven. I was screaming her name and asking her if she could hear me and to stay with me but she just stared at me and I knew she was losing consciousness. She was losing a lot of blood as well. Everyone around was on an alert and was starting to create a scene from what just happened while some security guards from outside and inside the building came running towards us. I hated the whole attention. This was part of the reason why I had told her let's get out of here a few minutes ago. The exact same thing I was trying to avoid ended up happening. I was still trying to process how she had heard I and CJ's conversation a few days ago. And she had heard me say I did
Mafia's Little Pearl Sixty four: I saw her
Jade's Pov Pain. That's what I first felt when I woke up. I opened my eyes slowly and was met with an unfamiliar ceiling. My eyes studied it for some time before Saint's face appeared on top of me obstructing my view. "You're awake." He said, peering into my eyes. I didn't respond as I stared at him for some time and then looked around the room, trying to figure out where I was. I saw an older man standing behind Saint who had his arms folded. I then recognised the room. It was Saint's. But the older man? He was someone I hadn't seen before and it made me wonder who he was. I grunted as I started to sit up, feeling the pain in my abdomen. Saint put his arm behind me helping me up and a pillow behind my back to support me. The unfamiliar man rushed over to the other side of the bed and reached out his hand, making me shift towards Saint a bit. "It's alright," Saint assured me. "He's the house doctor and he's the one that has been taking care of you since yesterday. Yesterday?
Mafia's Little Pearl Sixty five: Surreal
Jade's Pov. The days passed swiftly. I was still in his room and it was me waking up. eating my food, taking my medication and going back to sleep. The pain was starting to subside, I was getting better and soon, the stitches got removed. Saint and I didn't really speak much. Or rather I kept the talk with him brief always. I was still hurt by what he had said and was trying so much to just be on my own in the meantime since I had a lot of things going on in my mind. Including him, Suzy and Marcel as well. Plus I also wanted to get physically healthy and stop being limited to just his room space, which I kind of was already getting familiar with. Saint on the other hand didn't press further each time I ended the conversation and he was around for a decent amount of time to take care of me. I always woke up to him beside me and he made sure I was comfortable always. He was the one that had insisted on me staying back in his room and even when I told him my room was just fine, he did
Mafia's Little Pearl Sixty six: Explanation
Jade's Pov. I stood up slowly, meeting her eyes and watching her as she walked to where I was. She was the one. She was Suzy. Betty too had her eyes wide open and held a hand over her mouth to prevent her from screaming out loud. "Jade." She said as she stood in front of me. I didn't know what to do. To scream? To hug her? To get angry and shout at her? To start asking her questions? To not say anything and just sit back down. I was so confused. I don't know... My mind was a mess. I had become frozen. It felt surreal. Like I had seen a ghost. Or rather, like I was seeing a ghost. But she was in front of me, looking at me just like I was doing the same to her. "Jade..." She said again. She gave me a little smile, reached out her hand and touched my arm lightly. Her brown eyes looked unsure of what next to do and she pressed her lips together with a sigh. I slowly looked down at her arm, feeling her touch on my skin and then looked back to her face. She was real. She wasn't a gho

Mafia's Little Pearl Hundred: Epilogue
Jade's pov. "At this point, I could get a rash from you being all over me, yunno." I groaned and Saint nuzzled into me burying his face in my neck. We were naked under the sheets after we'd gone two rounds that late morning and it didn't look like he was letting me go any moment. I felt his smile beneath me and I couldn't help but smile along. He was a clingy man, surprisingly, something I hadn't noticed before and in as much as I complained, I loved it and wished he'd never stop. "All I'm saying is you going to Betty's house can wait a few days. I want you in my arms today." He mumbled like a child. "You said this last week. And the week before. Even yesterday.""One more day won't hurt, would it? Sweetheart?" He asked and then looked at me smiling. He had cut his hair a bit shorter than it used to be so he didn't go around with his man bun any longer because according to him, he had said he wanted to try new things just like I did and if possible, he would dye his hair also. Hi
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety nine: The end
Jade's pov. Marcel explained to Saint about what had happened and how he had to pretend to work with Matrix in order to kill him. He promised he had never given out any of his information and if at all anything, he had helped save me at the party through Suzy and had called me to warn me the night I thought Suzy died. He said he had come too late and since he was sure that he (Saint) was going to save me, he had saved Suzy. "And the business and route you thrashed?" Saint asked again. I saw he was really trying to understand him because of me and not finish him to the ground. Because the normal Saint would have made Marcel a goner long ago and skipped the whole conversation. I just stood watching the whole thing with my arms together while Saint's men cleared the bodies on the floor. Marcel shook his head. "That wasn't me. That was on Gab. I couldn't put him out to you because we used to be close before you killed him."Saint took a deep breath narrowing his eyes at him. "Gab was
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety eight: I love you
Jade's pov "Starting with him," Matrix said pointing his gun at Marcel. "And later on, her. Why don't we finish what we started years ago huh?" He asked and smirked darkly. "Would it not be nice to die in the same place your family did? At least that's what I considered before coming here."This man was fucking crazy for bringing up Saint's family. I wanted to strangle him slowly. I hated him. "We?" Saint asked leaning forward, calmer than I expected. And from the time when he had acted this calmly after seeing Serena dead, I knew he was plotting something ruthless already. "You started this mess, Mariano. And I'm going to finish it for you. As for him-" He paused and I saw his eyes go to Marcel who stood beside me, watching also. "I wanted him dead already."I stiffened at his words as I saw him raise a gun to Marcel. Matrix smiled at the gesture and I became scared already. He was going to kill Marcel just as he had told CJ he would anytime he found him. He looked at me for a bri
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety seven: Villa
Saint's pov. It was night already as we reached the Villa, I made sure each of my men was positioned in groups at each strategic area. We made sure to surround the house because there was no escaping for him today. No matter how many his men were, we were going to outnumber him. The fight was already looking over before it even started. This whole thing had started from his greed. He was younger than my father but older than me. The Guerra family was known to have the largest cartel in the whole of New York and my father had always done well maintaining it. Mariano's family came close to us but could never really measure, we were always better off, stronger, more power, more money and more connections. Head of the Mariano family used to be loyal to my father before he passed away and barely two years later, Matrix had become greedy for the power, plotted with the Fontana family and some others who were ready to be traitors and had started his little game of wiping off the whole Guer
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety six: Alcohol
Jade's povI lowered my head, pulling my knees to my chest and when the posture seemed painful and impossible because of the hurt, I decided to spread out my legs and lean against the wall. "You've been here since then?" I asked quietly watching her sit up as well. There was silence after my question. I saw her take a deep breath and nod. "Yes." She muttered. "After I texted you that I couldn't meet you, I got taken. You wouldn't know because you didn't bother to text or call me." She accused throwing her face away. I was too hurt and in a lot of pain to start getting angry and trying to pass my point across on why I didn't call her or what I was also going through with Saint. I could have also accused her of not checking up on me as well but I didn't want to, so I let it be. "When did Marcel get taken?" I asked her, switching the topic from being about her. She shook her head, "I can't say exactly. I just saw him randomly after I passed out once from Matrix punching the shit out
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety five: Matrix 2
Jade's pov"You're lying!" I shouted at Matrix. "My mum isn't dead. She's in China right now. You're a fucking liar." The bitterness at the back of my throat increased and my stomach twisted badly making me want to throw up. He laughed. He fucking laughed at me. Then took a sip of his drink and crossed his legs." Is that what old man Greco told you?" He asked, his eyes filled with amusement. "She never made it to the airport, L'amante di Saint. Your mother died in her car. The only thing she succeeded in was keeping you two safe."He said it so casually that I hated him to the core. Here I was hating my mother for abandoning and running off all these years while my uncle abused me, not knowing she was trying to keep is safe and this demon sitting right in front of me ended up killing her after Dad. My eyes pricked with tears as I watched him, my heart beating against my chest like it would explode. In the past more than twelve hours, my heart had felt more pain than it had ever don
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety four: Matrix
Jade's pov At this rate, I should seriously start getting awards for every time I get kidnapped, or become unconscious or land in the hands of some people - or the same people- that want me dead. My head hurt a lot as I blinked twice, not opening my eyes yet. I felt my wrists tied together and my legs too tied together at my ankle. I was glad at least they didn't blindfold me. I remembered seeing Lauretta on Saint's thigh and running out, then was grabbed by CJ and finally at the red traffic stop, a car had run into us. And I still didn't believe Marcel was dead. Just like that. I grunted, opening my eyes lightly and letting my vision adjust to the light and surrounding. When I finally adjusted, I sat up and a girl lying beside me and tied just the same way I was, caught my attention. She moved a little and her face came into view which made a gasp to escape from my mouth as I saw who it was. "Suzy?" I said and she opened her eyes to look at me, shaking her head. Her mouth was ta
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety three: Where
Saint's pov We were already halfway to Matrix's hideout since it was a two-hour ride when I looked at Alessandro like he had just said the most atrocious thing ever. "What do you mean CJ is unreachable?" I asked him, ringing CJ's line from my phone. He had texted me immediately after he found Jade and I had since been waiting for his call to tell me they were safe somewhere, maybe at the house, at any of the hotels I owned or just any place he could think of. But no call came in and my racy thoughts and the unsettling feeling I got made me uneasy with every second that passed by. And I had instructed Alessandro to call him. The same unsettling feeling I got the night of Aunt's death. His phone was switched off and I immediately rang Jade's line but got the same thing at her end. Something had to be wrong. And I hoped Matrix hadn't gotten a hold of them. Or even if he had, I hoped they were at the same location as he was, which was the exact place we were going to. I hated mysel
Mafia's Little Pearl Ninety two: Tonight
Saint's PovThe tears I saw in her eyes as she looked at me in hatred made me risk yanking Lauretta off my thighs and not caring if I ended up dying from the cut on my neck. But the risk was a deadly one because I wouldn't survive if I dared. Lauretta was undeniably good with knives. Her only positive trait if I may add. I heard Lauretta giggle and grind herself a little more as she turned and locked eyes with Jade. She was making sure Jade thought we were doing whatever it looked like we were doing. I took that opportunity of her distraction to stretch my hands to the gun and grab it lightly, feeling her hand a bit loose on my neck. But that still didn't stop the pain that was springing out from there which made me know the knife had cut me a little. Jade turned around and hurried out, banging the door behind her just as I corked the gun in my hand, putting it to Lauretta's head. I called out her name, determined to end Lauretta and run after her immediately. Lauretta turned to
